TEC



enabling Environments and Challenges to Technology Development and Transfer

In order to achieve the objectives of the Paris Agreement, climate technologies must be implemented quickly and on a large scale. The Parties to the Convention reported multiple challenges within the different processes of technology development, deployment and transfer. As these challenges are evolving along with the technologies and their implementation, there is a need to consider the latest challenges reported by the Parties regarding different technology-related processes.

The TEC agreed, in its rolling workplan for 2019–2022, to an activity on examining enabling environments, including challenges and opportunities to incentivize the private and public sector in the development and transfer of technologies, building on previous work by the TEC on adaptation and mitigation technologies, including a paper and a policy brief on examining enabling environments and challenges, including challenges based on TNAs, NDCs, CTCN TA and relevant TEC Briefs.

Paper on enabling environments and challenges to technology development and transfer 

This paper presents the most recent information on challenges and enablers reported in TNAs, NDCs and CTCN TA; it identifies challenges and opportunities to improve enabling environments to address the challenges; and it assists the TEC in delivering relevant key messages and recommendations to Parties at the twentysixth session of the Conference of the Parties.

Policy brief on enabling environments and challenges to technology development and transfer identified in TNA, NDCs and CTCN TA

This policy brief elaborates on enabling environments and challenges to technology development and transfer. Creating and advancing enabling environments for technology development and transfer to deploy innovative, sustainable technologies creates various opportunities related to an effective dialogue and new ways of thinking in order to raise awareness of the economic, social and environmental aspects of technology transition and potential development trajectories. Challenges about implementation of enabling environments for technology development and transfer were reported by countries in their TNAs, NDCs and CTCN TA documents for mitigation and adaptation technologies.
